...maybe the formula Pi R-squared is actually the correct formula for
estimated completion time, with 'R' standing for 'restoration'? Could also
explain why people feel they've been going in circles while completing a
restoration? One man's hypothesis...

Pretty close... but I've been working on development of this theory
for a
long time, in both my TR-6 life and in my amateur radio life where I
build
big (300 pound) antennas and figure how to put them up on tall
(200-foot)
towers. It doesn't matter whether it's antenna work, or doing the
brakes
on my TR... I can state that the multiplier is actually the magic
number:
3.14 !
And you thought Pi had something to do with circles....
